Verlander had 10/5 rights. If he didn't want to go to Houston, the trade doesn't happen. As it went down, they didn't get his okay unt a minute or two before the deadline.
As to the talent goes. They got 3 of the Astros top 10 prospects at the time. You couldn't foresee the numerous injuries Perez was going to have. At the time he was considered a young rising Frontline starter. Cameron had swing and miss but an idea at the plate (not unlike his father). Rogers has been pretty much as advertised
